Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Review & Best Price Info

With several versions of Windows 7 to choose from, why would you choose Windows 7 Ultimate? There are a few reasons. One would be that no one version does everything you want. Perhaps you want to use your PC for entertainment. Windows 7 Home Premium would seem like the operating system for you. But you also need the business capabilities of Windows 7 Professional. With Windows 7 Ultimate you don’t have to choose; you get entertainment and business. But the benefits don’t stop there. If you need to use the productivity programs you loved in Windows XP, simply run Windows 7 Ultimate in Windows XP mode. Work in any of 35 languages, as well, and switch easily between languages. And if security is a high priority, you’ll definitely want Windows Ultimate 7, with BitLocker built in to protect the data on your PC and portable devices.
